FIFA has completely rejected the introduction of a video referee, as executives say there is no need for a system to monitor whether the ball has reached the full line of the goal line.
However, solving the problem would be considered by many to be particularly important, as an incorrect judgment has proven to be decisive countless times for more prestigious tournaments as well. The topic was raised again when the referee did not give Patric Viera his otherwise perfectly scored goal shot on Sunday. Experts believe that in such controversial situations, the video system would be a huge help to the referees, but FIFA is of a different position for the time being. A spokesman for the International Football Association in Germany said the board was unwilling to introduce the new technology until they were sure the system was XNUMX percent reliable.
